A petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court seeking directions to shift the double murder accused, Raymond Davis, to Lahore Fort and ask Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) to hold inquiry in his case. Advocate Ilamudin Ghazi in his petitions alleged that accused Davis was in Pakistan on special mission, which could be harmful for solidarity of the country.
He said that in both cases against him - murder, and having illegal weapons - investigation should be conducted by the ISI. He said the accused was spending his days of detention as a guest as his 'residence' in Kot Lakhpat Jail consists of two barrack and 18 rooms. He said he has been provided facilities of mobile phone, TV, and all other necessities of life as if he is a guest. He said as the Jail is very far from the city and this distance could help the accused in fleeing from the jail.
He alleged that America wants his early release, fearing that he would reveal secrets of their 'secret missions' in Pakistan, or about drone attacks. He said that after his arrest, all drone attacks have been stopped as if he was providing assistance in this regard to the US forces. He alleged that America even could launch an operation for release of Davis.
He said there were several instances when America took action against sovereignty of different countries. He said the US authorities arrested Noriega, Panama's army chief, on January 3, 1990 for challenging America's authority. Ghazi also alleged that America managed assassination of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Liaquat Ali Khan for visiting Russia after refusing the visit to the US. He also alleged that the US managed hanging of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto for trying to make Pakistan a nuclear power.
He said that documents recovered from Davis have proved that he was mastermind of terrorists. He said he was a trained shooter and this expertise is not necessary for an ambassador. He said for its own benefit, the US not only could try to forcibly get him released but also it could kill him.
He said if he is arrested, no stone should be left unturned for his protection, which is impossible at Kot Lakhpat Jail. He said that for his protection, it is necessary to hand him over to the ISI so that no one could kidnap him and he also could not flee from the jail. He said the ISI also could properly hold investigation from him so that all of his missions against Pakistan could come on record.
